Answer 1

B). Our city's most pressing problem today is traffic.

Step-by-step explanation:

A subject complement is elucidated as the words or phrase(group of words) that immediately follows a linking verb. These words are usually an adjective, pronoun, or noun that function to either identify or describe the subject. While the linking verbs generally involve various forms of be(was/were, is, am, are, has been, etc.), seem, or become.

In the given question, the third sentence contains a subject complement i.e. 'traffic'(noun) as it follows the linking verb 'is'(form of 'be') and functions to identify the subject('our city's most pressing problem') i.e. 'traffic.' Thus, option B is the correct answer.
